Christina Sabo started The Green Roof Urban Farm as a way to earn money after Covid left her with lingering symptoms. More than two years later, the microgreens business boasts one restaurant and subscription customers. She delivers the product across the Mahoning Valley, from Niles to Columbiana.
"We're up to 16 different varieties … and then I am branching out into edible flowers," Sabo explained. Greens include broccoli, radish, cantaloupe, cabbage, pea, kale, sunflower and a spicy salad blend with dill, parsley, basil and cilantro rounding out the herbs.
Jim Logan, general manager at Homestead Kitchen and Cocktails, has been a customer of the Green Roof Urban Farm for about two years. The farm-to-table restaurant in Columbiana uses products from area farmers. It was using microgreens from a handful of people, but they didn't last more than a few days.
Sabo's "hold out longer than any of the other ones we've ever had," Logan said. "The flavors are so much better. The product just looks so much better than the other things that we've experienced."
